Claas liner vs Enorossi rake

[Farmerpickle]

Just wanted to know if any of you have had any experience Enorossi rakes? Or should I hunt for a second hand Claas Liner.
Enorossi are these:

Similar to the Acrobat.
Many thanks.

How much raking are you thinking of doing
New some one with somthing simaler to the Enorossi
it didn't like heavy crops and was bothered with cracking of the frame

Know 2 people with those bat rakes. Both love them. One is the sort of lad who could break a wheel barrow and he’s not broke the rake.

However I know where there’s a very tidy Lely hibiscus 485 for sale

Thank you. Probably in the region of 100-200 acres a year. Hopefully hay if it is dry enough.

Don't suppose you know of one with an extra star/rotor on?

I know someone with a V rake it's fine on hay but doesn't like heavy green crops

There is very tidy Claas 2900 on Rickerbys website , has done very little work was kept as a spare back up machine & was never needed

No it won’t. They are and always were haymaking rakes i.e. Dry crops. Forget using on silage/haylage as you’ll end up with ropy swaths. That’s why side rake versions on centre delivery takes sell in small nos over here.

You can't beat the death from a twin rotor rake, we've used all sorts of ways of raking hay,haylage and silage, the Kuhn 6501 we use now makes small baling so much easier despite the large swath compared to using a single rotor one

 

[Boohoo]

I only know of one person who tried a V rake, think it lasted a season, they've got a twin rotor rake now.

Once rowed up a 40 acre field with a single rotor

It’s really not fun when the baler arrives
